A member asked:

Is it normal to have (red burned spot) above your tongue when you have a dry throat and cough? my cough is very deep/within, hurts to clear throat.

Cough: Sounds like you need to see a doctor and find out what is going on especially if it has been like this for more than a week or 2.

No: "Red burned spot," and deep cough are not normal. Please see your PCP for evaluation.
